FEPE2100 Statistics Course description

Statistikk gir sammen med de andre realfagene det fundamentale grunnlaget for ingeniørfagene. Dette emnet skal gi studenten forståelse for statistiske og sannsynlighetsteoretiske begreper, problemstillinger og løsningsmetoder med sikte på anvendelser innen eget fagfelt og ingeniørfag generelt.

Ingen ut over opptakskrav.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student:

• is capable of explaining key concepts of set theory, probability theory, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing theory and choice of model
• is capable of explaining normal, binomial, Poisson and exponential probability distributions, as well as typical problems to which they can be applied

Skills

The student is capable of:

• applying statistical principles and concepts from his/her own professional field
• carrying out basic probability calculations and parameter estimation
• setting up confidence intervals and testing hypotheses for normally and binomially distributed data
• carrying out simple correlation/regression analyses

General competence

The student:

• uses statistical approaches to engineering problems and communicates them orally and in writing
• is capable of solving problems in engineering by using probability calculations, statistical planning of trials, data collection and analysis

Lectures and weekly exercise sessions. In the exercise sessions, the students work on assignments, both individually and in groups, under the supervision of a lecturer and/or student assistant.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• Individual exercises. Takes in total about 3 hours to finish.

The bachelor's thesis is the final topic of the engineering education. It is a self-chosen task that is performed by students in a group. It will give students training in carrying out a large project independently and in using relevant methodology tools, and will be organised so that the students are able to use knowledge and skills from several fields.

The bachelor's thesis can be linked to assignments at OsloMet or be written in cooperation with business and industry or other institutions. It must be rooted in real engineering questions that are relevant to the chosen programme option and it can be related to design or contractor operations, orto a research or development project.

The bachelor's thesis is based on knowledge acquired through all five previous semesters.

Students must be registered in third year of the study and have completed at least 100 credits from the first and second years of study by 1st of October before they can register for the bachelor's thesis.

All three-semester courses must be passed.

Project work in groups. The groups should normally consist of three students. In exceptional cases when special reasons so dictate, students can be permitted to write the bachelor's thesis alone, based on application.

The assignment of bachelor's theses is based on the guidelines applicable to the faculty and the study programme. There will be a process from the end of the fourth semester until the assignment at the end of the fifth semester, when information on guidelines is provided and selection of groups and tasks take place. A supervisor from the study programme will be appointed. An eventual external partner will also normally provide guidance and follow-up.

The project work amounts to 500 hours per student and is concluded with a project report and oral presentation.

Students are expected to plan and execute the work in an independent manner and write timesheets. It shall be a written report in accordance with the faculty's procedures. Source reference must be performed correctly. Abstract must be written in English. Digital submission.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• Two milestone meetings of 1 hour each.
